My name is Lucy Gurney, and I am the owner of Secret Garden Quilting Ltd, a new company based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Ever since I can remember I have been sewing, following the example of my mum who was a talented dressmaker and embroiderer. My interest in patchwork and quilting really started when I was living in the United States during the 1990s. On my return to the UK, I enrolled in a sampler quilt course, and I was hooked! My goal is to open a quilt shop in the local area, as we have lost several over the last few years, but I decided to start slowly taking my 'pop-up' shop to local quilt groups and village halls in the north Hertfordshire area and selling via the internet. I do hope you like the selection of fabrics and accessories in my store. Please do not hestitate to contact me if you have any suggestions or feedback on the site or the fabrics. I would love to hear from you.
